If more than one instrument is probated, the order shall indicate what provisions control in respect to the nomination of a personal representative, if any. The order may, but need not, indicate how any provisions of a particular instrument are affected by the other instrument. After a final order in a testacy proceeding has been entered, no petition for probate of any other instrument of the decedent may be entertained, except incident to a petition to vacate or modify a previous probate order and subject to the time limits of Section 3-412 [45-3-412 NMSA 1978].","path":["Chapter 45 - Uniform Probate Code","ARTICLE 3 Probate of Wills and Administration"],"source_url":"https://nmonesource.com/nmos/nmsa-unanno/en/item/18546/index.do","current_through":"2024-09-06","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-03T15:02:19Z","sha256":"a8373664608266da0f6f11275424de9692a28c1cbfb8f39c8599cf0b44eba88a","source_id":"us-nm","stale":false,"prev":"us-nm/45-3-409","next":"us-nm/45-3-411"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
